I'm seriously excited about this announcement, RCT series has been a huge part of surviving my youth! I can safely say it's a main reason why I'm such an avid fan of theme parks. Firstly, I wish to thank you for not only reviving the genre, but allowing us to respond with suggestions.
If I'm honest, a newer, improved RCT3 is all I would ask for, the game had great all-round playability... but the few things that i thought the game was missing was the integration with custom made objects etc. The ability to create not only your own roller coaster, but being able to conceal it in either a tunnel, long grass, holes through large rocks etc without having "something is blocking the object" until it's half a map away.
I also loved the challenge/career mode with RCT, the only one I was sad to miss was the ability to start afresh, without ever ending. For example you own a local theme park, that you built up slowly with having long-term goals, whereby every purchase you make will equal a small % of your overall goal, rather than short bursts objectives.
Another thing that I think this website has now made me crave, is the realism and hype that comes with construction, perhaps include a completion time upon designing the rollercoaster. Seeing the rollercoaster near completion is a great feeling. Which would lead me to love to include marketing behind a new rollercoaster, or seeing individuals excited for a new addition to the theme park.
Lastly, I'd love to stress the importance of clean fluidity to making it feel realistic. I love the graphics on RCT3, but what annoyed me was how awful it sometimes looked trying to get a path to connect, or how a tree would ruin the flow.
I'll be lurking on this thread, so keep up the good work!
